Instead, she is trapped somewhere she shouldn't be, with a man she definitely doesn't love. How will she begin to tell Vic what she is doing here? If her body is found, will it give up the secret of what she's been up to? She's been so careful hiding the evidence of her affair: write nothing down, leave no trace.

What will her marriage and her life look like, if she makes it out? Discover the most gripping and original novel you'll read this year, from an incredible new talent in fiction.
